Winnipeg Jets sign 2015 draft pick Mason Appleton

Appleton, who was chosen in the sixth round (168th overall) of the 2015 Draft by the Winnipeg Jets, agreed to terms on a three year, two-way, entry-level deal on Thursday that carries an average annual value of $758,333 in the National Hockey League.

The average annual value of the covenant is of 758 333 $.

Michigan State hockey coach Danton Cole will be without the services of one his most talented veterans for his first season running the program as Mason Appleton has signed a deal with the Winnipeg Jets.

Prior to attending MSU, Appleton was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets in the 6th round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

In 2016-17, the Green Bay, Wisconsin native suited up in all 35 games.

In 64 games for the Jets last season, the 24-year-old scored nine goals and added eight assists. Appleton earned the team's MVP and Outstanding Offensive Player awards for his contributions on the ice.
